Training is conducted in Kazakh, Turkish, Russian and English.
President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev pays great attention to the issues, including improving the quality of education, meeting international standards, integrating science and education. This is especially important for Turkestan, which faces the challenges of its development as a cultural and spiritual hub of the Turkic world, an educational and scientific hub of Turkestan region.

All these measures are believed to make the University a pole of attraction for scientific and pedagogical personnel, stimulate the development of the entire region, with the purpose of reaching the University’s objectives.
